Amenities
The Camp
East Weaver Group Campground occupies a wooded setting along East Weaver Creek, where dirt spurs branch off from the paved access road to reach individual sites. The rustic character fits the location — you get picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets, but the appeal here is proximity to wilderness trailheads rather than campground amenities. Each of the ten sites includes a table and stove/grill setup.
The creek provides the soundtrack, and the tree cover offers natural separation between sites. This isn't a place for RV caravans or car camping luxury — it's designed for groups planning to spend their days on the trail.
What to Know
Reservations are required for the $110 nightly fee, which covers your entire group regardless of size. The campground operates during spring and fall seasons, likely closing during winter snow and summer fire restrictions.
Weaverville sits just 1.5 miles away for last-minute supplies, fuel, or a restaurant meal — close enough for convenience but far enough to maintain the backcountry feel.
Nearby
Multiple trailheads into the Trinity Alps Wilderness start within a short walk of camp. This wilderness access is the campground's main draw, putting your group at the doorstep of alpine lakes, granite peaks, and extended backcountry routes without the drive time from more distant base camps.
The setup works particularly well for groups planning day hikes into the wilderness or using the campground as a departure point for backpacking trips.
